Gone But NEVER forgotten... Michael Jackson
On this day, the
world was thrown in deep mourning and outpouring of grief, hours after the
equally sad death of Charlie’s Angels
alumni, Farrah Fawcett. Even after 8 years, the void left by the sad
passing of Michael Jackson- the iconic King of Pop-painfully remains.
His career, spanning
several decades, began as a child when he and his brothers (The Jackson 5,
later on The Jacksons) thrilled audiences with their songs and well
choreographed dance moves before embarking on a successful solo career,
inspiring future artistes. He and Lionel Ritchie co-wrote and performed with
other artistes (which included his siblings) in the USA For Africa message song,
‘We Are World’ and among his several achievements, was the first artist to
generate seven USA Top 10 hits on his 1982 album, Thriller; which is the biggest selling album of all time, selling
over 51 million copies.
M.J is remembered not
only for his music but his humanitarian work; passing across the message of
love and world peace in several of his songs and frequently giving to
charity, which included arranging airlifts of food and medical supplies to war
torn Sarajevo. Sadly, he was no stranger to scandal; being accused of child
molestation, of which he was completely acquitted of.
His film and T.V
appearances include the Sesame Street
Christmas Special, The
M.J, you were loved...
and always, always remembered!
